'Orchids' WIP continued

Here is what my Orchids on Stonehenge looks like now. It is is almost finished. I need to spend some time tweaking the veins in the petals. Once it is completely finished, I shall post a picture of it alongside the version that I did on the Colorfix pastel paper.

Jeanette, orchids in your house...how wonderful! Flower fear from someone who does the impossible?! You draw human beings, therefore you have no fear!

Hey the patience of saint, I rather like that...better than a comment a fellow said to me while viewing my work: "Oh you coloured pencil types, you're such an anal bunch." I'm glad he said it with a smile! Turns out he had taken a coloured pencil workshop and by anal he really meant "IT"S HARD WORK". Oops, if you are one of my students, you didn't just read this... :-) Just kidding.......

Teresa Mallen CPSA

Welcome to my blog. I am a coloured pencil artist and instructor in Ottawa, Canada. My art is primarily a celebration of nature (although I do create abstracts occasionally). You can expect to see my works in progress here, to read about my life as an artist as well as snippets that reflect my love for the land, nature and the growing of food. Every now and again I post pictures of my wonderful goats and chickens. If you are passionate about art please join in the fun and please feel welcome to leave comments. I look forward to meeting you! I sincerely hope you enjoy your visit.
